Exact solutions of traversable wormholes are found by imposing the nonconstant Ricci scalar. These solutions asymptotically match spherical, flat and hyperbolic FRW metric. By choosing some static f (R) gravity models, we verify the standard energy conditions for the asymptotically spherical, flat and hyperbolic wormhole solutions. Unlike the Einstein gravity, we find that in the con- text of f (R) modified gravity, the asymptotically spherical, flat and hyperbolic wormhole solutions can respect the null energy condition (NEC) at the wormhole throat and near that. We find that in some static f (R) models, asymptotically flat and hyperbolic wormholes respect the weak energy condition (WEC) through the whole space. 1 Introduction Traversable wormholes are throatlike geometrical structures which connect two separate and distinct regions of space- times and have no horizon or singularity. There are some hints in the paper of Flamm [1], to such spatial geometry. In 1935, Einstein and Rosen [2] firstly obtained the worm- hole solutions as bridge model of a particle . The study of Lorentzian wormholes in the context of general relativity (GR) was stimulated by the significant paper of Morris and Thorne in 1988 [3,4]. A fundamental ingredient in worm- hole physics is the flaring-out condition of the throat, which in GR entails the violation of the NEC. Matter that violates the NEC is denoted exotic matter. A very important challenge in wormhole scenarios is the establishment of standard energy conditions. In this regard, various methods have been proposed in the literature that deal with the issue of energy conditions within wormhole settings. Work along this line has been done in dynamical wormholes a e-mail: h.golchin@uk.ac.ir b e-mail: mehdizadeh.mr@uk.ac.ir [5–7] and thin-shell wormholes [8], where the supporting matter is concentrated on the wormholes throat. In the con- text of modified theories of gravity, the presence of higher- order terms in curvature would allow for building thin-shell wormholes supported by ordinary matter [9–11]. Recently, many people try to build and study wormhole solutions within the framework of modified gravity for instance, wormhole solutions in BransDicke theory [12–15], Born–Infeld theory [16,17], Einstein–Gauss–Bonnet theory [18,19], Kaluza– Klein gravity [20,21] and scalar–tensor gravity [22] and Einstein–Cartan theory [23–25]. In recent years, theories of modified gravity have been studied involving cosmological objects like black holes, gravastars, strange stars and wormholes. Such theories are able to explain accelerating expansion of the universe and also solve the dark matter problem [26–28]. A well-known theory of modified gravity is f(R) gravity which modifies GR by replacing the gravitational action R by an arbitary function f(R), where R is the Ricci scalar. These models can be demonstrated to cause acceleration [29–35]. It was found that higher-order curvature invariants can satisfy the energy conditions in f(R) gravity [36–38]. The power-law Rm gravity is also studied in [39,40], the new static worm- holes in f(R) theory using the non-commutative geometry are built in [41,42] and the cosmological evolution of wormhole solutions is investigated in [43,44]. Recently, the junction conditions in f(R) applied to the construction of thin-shell wormholes [45–47] and pure double layer bubbles [48]. The static wormhole geometries have also been theorized within curvature-matter coupling theories such as f(R, T) [49,50]. Lorentzian wormhole solutions were also investigated in viable f(R) modified theories of gravity [51], which are con- sistent with observations of the solar system and cosmolog- ical evolution in [52–57]. These wormholes were found in specific f(R) models which are considered to reproduce real- istic scenarios of cosmological evolution based on the accel- erated expansion of the universe. it was shown that the WEC holds at the vicinity of the throat for certain ranges of the free 123

These asymptotically flat solutions analysed with the simple choices of shape function which WEC is satisfied at a specific point in space. A large class of static black hole solutions with non con- stant Ricci scalar and traversable wormholes with constant Ricci scalar have also investigated in the background of f (R) gravity [58,59]. The existence of wormhole solutions in scalar–tensor and f (R) gravity was studied in [60,61] and it was shown that static wormhole solutions in these theories can be obtained with matter respecting the WEC when the effective gravitational constant is negative (which means the anti-gravitational property of the solutions) in some regions of space. In this work, our aim is to obtain the wormhole solutions with non constant Ricci scalar in the context of viable f(R) gravity. This paper is organized as follows: after this intro- duction, we will present the basic field equations of f(R) grav- ity . In Sec. III, we will derive the properties of wormholes solutions within the framework of f(R) gravity and discuss about the energy conditions. The final section is devoted to our concluding remarks. 2 f(R) gravity wormholes (2) d4x d4x √−g f (R) + f gμν − ∇μ∇ν F + gμνF = T m μν , The action of f(R) modified theories of gravity is given by √−g Lm (gμν , ψ ) , (1) S = 1 2κ where κ = 8π G and Lm is the matter Lagrangian density, in which the matter field ψ is minimally coupled to the metric gμν. Throughout this work for notational simplicity we con- sider κ = 1. One can find the field equation by varying the action (1) with respect to metric gμν as F Rμν − 1 2 and the trace of the field equation F R − 2 f + 3 F = T , (3) where F = d f /d R. Substituting the trace equation in (2) and re-organizing the terms, one can write the field equation as [62] Gμν ≡ Rμν − 1 2 In the above, the two terms in the right hand side of the field equation are in the form ∇μ∇ν F − 1 μν = 1 T c 4 F ˜T m μν = T m μν /F . In this background, we are going to study the static and spher- ically symmetric traversable wormholes which is given by the gμν (R F + F + T ) R gμν = T c μν + ˜T m μν .

(6) (7) The Ricci scalar for the above wormhole geometry is (r ) R = 2 b r 2 , ” denotes derivative with respect to the radial coor- where “ dinate r. As in [62] we choose the energy–momentum tensor of anisotropic distribution of matter Tμν = (ρ + pt )Uμ Uν + pt gμν + ( pr − pt ) χμχν , where U μ is the four-velocity and χ μ = √ (8) 1 − b(r )/r δμ r is the unit spacelike vector in the radial direction. ρ(r ) is the energy density and pr (r ), pt (r ) are radial and transverse pressure respectively, so the energy–momentum tensor takes ν = diag[−ρ, pr , pt , pt] . Thus the field equa- to the form T μ tion (4) leads to the following relationships , , , b F r F − H r − b 2r 2(1 − b/r ) − F − H = ρ F = pr F = pt F 1− b r 1 − b (9) r (F R + F + T ). By solving the above + H b r 2 F + 1 − b r 3 F b−b + 1 r 2r 3 F where H (r ) = 1 system, one finds the following expressions [62] ρ = Fb r 2 + F pr = − bF r 3 2r 2 1 − b pt = − F r r r − b) − F + F (b − b 2r 3 1 − b r (10) (11) (12) r ) . (b 4 , , We are interested in studying inhomogeneous spacetimes which merge smoothly to the cosmological background. Therefore, we may consider the Ricci scalar of the worm- hole geometry as R = 6 c1 + 6 c2 r n where c1, c2 and n are free parameters. In the following sec- tion we consider some choices for these free parameters and study the corresponding wormhole solutions in some differ- ent f (R) backgrounds.

In the following we set (r ) = 0.

Wormhole throat is chosen at r0 = 1, we also set n = 4 in these figures 3 Traversable wormhole solutions in f (R) models We start this section by finding wormhole solutions with Ricci scalar in the form (13). Combining (7) and (13) one can find the shape function as b(r ) = r 3 c1 + 3 c2 3 − n + c3, (14) −n r where c3 is the integration constant. This wormhole solution by choosing c2 = 0 is obtained in [59]. In the following we set the integration constant to zero. The shape function b(r ) for a wormhole solution, should satisfy the following conditions: i) ii) iii) b(r0) = r0 , (r0) < 1 , b 1 − b(r ) r > 0 . (15) Inserting condition i), one can find c2 in terms of r0, c1 and n; so it is possible to rewrite the shape function as b(r ) = r 3−n + c1 r 3 0 c1 + r n−2 −r n (16) . 0 We consider the wormhole solutions with three values c1 = 0,±1. The shape function for these values are depicted in Fig. 1. It is easy to check that in the case of c1 = 0,−1 the condition ii) in (15) is satisfied for n > 2 and in the case of c1 = 1 condition ii) is satisfied when n > 2.4 . Setting the shape function into the form (16), one can write b(r ) r = c1 r 2 + (r n−2 0 − c1 r n 0 )r 2−n , (17) note that due to the condition ii) we should insert n > 2 in the above, so the second term in (17) falls down at large r. Remembering the wormhole metric (6), one deduces that the wormhole solutions with c1 = −1, c1 = 0 and c1 = 1 at large r match the hyperbolic, flat and spherical FRW universe respectively, so we call them asymptotically flat (c1 = 0), asymptotically hyperbolic (c1 = −1) and asymptotically spherical (c1 = 1) wormhole solutions. ) −n(c1 r n In the framework of Einstein gravity, the traversable wormhole geometry (6), violates the weak energy condition WEC1: ρ > 0 , WEC2: ρ + pt > 0 , WEC3: ρ + pr > 0 and the null energy condition WEC2: ρ + pt > 0 , WEC3: ρ+ pr > 0 . Substituting ρ, pr and pt given in (10)–(12) and the shape function (16), one can rewrite the requirements of WEC as 3c1 + (n − 3)r WEC1: WEC2: 1 F 2r +2F c1r 2−1+(r n−2 WEC3: F 12c1 − (n − 2) 12c1r + (6c1r n 6c1r 2−1+(r n−2 24 c1r+(4−n)(r n−2 − 6c1r n r n−2 − r n−2 −6 r n 0 c1) where F = d f (R)/d R and “ respect to the radial coordinate r. − r n−2 − 6c1r n )r 2−n > 0, − 6c1r n −n ) (n − 2) r 1−n r 2−n > 0, F > 0 , )r 1−n ” denotes derivative with + 1 2 +F (18) F r 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 The conditions of stability and absence of ghosts are dis- cussed in [60,61]. It is shown that in a scalar–tensor theory of gravity formulated in the Jordan frame with Lagrangian L = 1 2 f (φ)R + h(φ)gμν φ,μφ,ν − 2U (φ) + Lm , (19) where f , h and U are arbitrary functions and Lm is the matter Lagrangian, there is no static wormhole solution that satisfy the null energy conditions when f (φ) > 0 and f (φ) h(φ)+ 2 > 0. In the case of f (R) theories of modified gravity h(φ) = 0 and f (φ) = F = d f (R)/d R [61], so the above nonexistence theorem holds for d f dφ 3 2 123
777 Page 4 of 13 Eur. Phys. J. C (2019) 79 :777 (a) (b) Fig. 2 F = d f (R)/d R and weak energy condition requiements for a wormhole solution of the Tsujikawa model with n = 5 are depicted in a. It is obvious that F < 0, so the condition of wormhole nonexistence is violated. It is also clear that WEC is respected at the throat r0 and beyond it. In the blue region of b, F < 0 and (18) are simultaneously satisfied, so this region shows traversable asymptotically flat wormholes of the Tsujikawa model, that respect the WEC. In these figures we set μ = 1.02, R∗ = 0.1 and r0 = 25 > 0 , d R2 d2 f (R) = 0 . F = d f (R) (20) d R In the following we consider the asymptotically flat (c1 = 0), asymptotically hyperbolic (c1 = −1) and asymptotically spherical (c1 = 1) wormhole solutions in the background of f (R) modified gravity. We are interested to the wormholes that respect the requirements of WEC, in the other word, we look for the solutions which satisfy (18), the conditions ii), iii) in (15) and violate the nonexistence theorem (20) simul- taneously2. Note that the regions where d f (R)/d R < 0 are anti-gravitational, in the sense that the effective gravitational constant is negative [60,61]. 3.1 The case of c1 = 0 For a wormhole solution, as we mentioned above, the sec- ond term in (17) falls down at large r, therefore in the case of c1 = 0 the traversable wormhole solution (6) matches the flat FRW metric at large r. At this stage we consider such asymptotically flat wormholes in the background of some static f (R) gravity models. As we will see, the f (R) mod- ified gravity wormhole solutions in many cases satisfy the null or weak energy condition. 2 Note that by d2 f (R)/d R2 = 0 in (20), the nonexistence theorem violates just in one or some points instead, the F < 0 violates this theorem in a region at space. Hence in the following we search for F < 0 to check the violation of this nonexistence theorem. 123 1) The Tsujikawa model [63–65] One of f (R) models which is consistent with cosmological and local gravity conditions, proposed by Tsujikawa. In this viable model, the f (R) considered as f (R) = R − μR∗ tanh( (21) R R∗ ) , where 0.905 < μ < 1 and R∗ is a free small posi- tive parameter [63]. For this model one can easily finds F = 1 − μ + μ tanh2(R/R∗). It is obvious that F takes positive values when μ < 1, this means that by choosing μ in the consistent range 0.905 < μ < 1, due to (20), there is no static wormhole solution in this model that satisfy the NEC (and so WEC). However by taking μ at the neighbor- hood of this range, one can find wormholes that respect WEC. In Fig. 2a we have depicted F in (20) and the requirements of WEC (18) for a solution with μ = 1.02 and n = 5. It is obvious in this figure that F < 0 , therefore the condition of nonexistence theorem (20) is violated. The figure also shows that WEC is respected at the wormhole throat r0. It is worth to mention that in this model, there is a 4- dimensional parameter space for the wormhole solutions which is made of μ, R∗, r0 and n. Among these parame- ters, μ, R∗ are limited by the model [63], we also measure the radial distance r, in the unit of wormhole throat r0 (the WEC1,2,3 in Fig. 2a are depicted in term of r/r0). Now we are going to find the parameter n in a manner that worm- hole solutions respect WEC through the space. In the other
Eur. Phys. J. C (2019) 79 :777 Page 5 of 13 777 (a) (b) Fig. 3 Setting n = 2.8 in a, we can see that d f (R)/d R < 0 around the throat and the obtained wormhole solution of Hu–Sawicki model respect NEC at r0. The blue region in b corresponds to traversable asymptoti- word we search for regions in n−r/r0 diagram that (18) and conditions ii), iii) in (15) are satisfied and F in (20) takes a negative value simultaneously. Figure 2b shows n−r/r0 diagram. The blue region in this figure corresponds to asymptotically flat traversable worm- hole solutions in the background of (21), which respect the WEC. It is obvious that by choosing 4 < n < 5.2, the WEC Fig. 4 It is clear that d f (R)/d R < 0 at the throat, but the wormhole solutions in Starobinsky model do not respect NEC at the throat r0. In this figures we set q = 2, λ = 0.98 , R∗ = 0.01 and r0 = 15 cally flat wormholes of the Hu–Sawicki model, which respect NEC. In these figures we set m = 1, μ = 5 , R∗ = 0.001 and r0 = 15 is respected at the throat r0 and through the whole space out- side that. Note that unlike the Einstein gravity, considering f (R) gravity model in the form (21), it is possible to find traversable wormhole solutions that respect the WEC at the throat and beyond that. 2) Hu–Sawicki model The second f (R) model which satisfies both cosmological and local gravity constraints proposed by Hu and Sawicki [65,66]. This model is in the form f (R) = R − μR∗ (R/R∗)2m (R/R∗)2m + 1 , (22) where m, R∗ and μ are positive parameters. It is shown in [63] that R∗ takes a small positive value and for m = 1 one √ should insert μ ≥ 8 3/9. Similar to the previous case, we are looking for the wormhole solutions of this f (R) model which respect the NEC or WEC. In Fig. 3a by setting μ = 5 and n = 2.8, we have depicted F in (20) and WEC2,3 (18). It is clear from the figure that around the throat r0, F < 0 and WEC2,3 are positive, which means that this wormhole solution respect the null energy conditions. Figure 3b shows the n− r/r0 diagram for this model. The blue zone in this figure is the region that F < 0, WEC2 > 0, WEC3 > 0 and ii), iii) in (15) are satisfied simultaneously. This means that traversable asymptotically flat wormhole solutions in this model respect the NEC around the throat r0 when 2 < n < 3 and by setting n ∼ 2.8 the NEC is respected at the throat. 123
777 Page 6 of 13 Eur. Phys. J. C (2019) 79 :777 (a) (b) Fig. 5 a Shows that d f (R)/d R < 0 and the NEC is satisfied at the throat for the wormhole solution of the Nojiri–Odintsov model with n = 2.8. According to b asymptoticly flat traversable wormholes in this model, respect NEC by choosing adequate values for n. In these figures we set m = 2, a = 2, b = 20, c = 20 and r0 = 1 (a) (b) Fig. 6 The NEC for a wormhole solution in the case of Amendola–Gannouji–Polarski–Tsujikawa model is respected (a). In the blue part in b, traversable asymptoticly flat wormholes respect the NEC. In these figures we set μ = 5, R∗ = 0.01, p = 0.5 and r0 = 3 3) The Starobinsky model [65,67,68] Another viable modified f (R) gravity model that we con- sider, has three free parameters λ, R∗ and q as: f (R) = R + λR∗ 1 + R2 R2∗ −q − 1 , (23) 123 where 0.944 < λ < 0.966 for q = 2 according to [63] and R∗ takes small positive values. Similar to the previous case, we are looking for the wormhole solutions of this f (R) model which respect the WEC (18). One can check that by choosing 0.944 < λ < 0.966, F in (20) takes positive values and there is no static wormhole solution in this model. However
Eur. Phys. J. C (2019) 79 :777 Page 7 of 13 777 (a) (b) Fig. 7 Setting n = 2.65 in a we found a wormhole solution in the exponential gravity model that respect NEC. The blue region in b also shows that it is possible to find wormholes solutions in this model that respect NEC around the throat. In these figures we set λ = 2, R∗ = 0.01 and r0 = 10 by taking λ at the neighborhood of this range, it is possible to obtain negative values for F. In Fig. 4a we draw F and (18) by choosing λ = 0.98, n = 2.5. It is clear that by this choice, F is negative at the throat however the null (and so weak) energy condition is violated at the wormhole throat. We also tried – by varying the parameter n – to find worm- hole solutions that respect NEC, but there is no region in n − r/r0 diagram that F < 0 and the NEC is satisfied simul- taneously (the n−r/r0 diagram is blank). In the other words, our results show that there is no asymptotically flat wormhole in this model that respect the NEC. 4) Nojiri–Odintsov model [69] Another viable f (R) model suggests that a Rm − b 1 + cRm , f (R) = R + Rm (24) where m ≥ 2 and a, b and c are free positive parameters which satisfy the condition bc >> a. Setting m = 2, a = 2, b = 20, c = 20 and n = 2.8, we checked that F < 0 and WEC2, WEC3 are respected around the wormhole throat r0 (Fig. 5a). Figure 5b shows that the f (R) model (24) contains asymptoticly flat wormhole solutions with different values for the parameter n, that respect the null energy condition. This viable model contains three parameters 0 < p < 1, μ > 0 and R∗ which takes a small positive value. The same analysis by setting p = 1/2, μ = 5 and n = 2.75, shows that F in (20) becomes negative and the obtained wormhole solution satisfies NEC at the throat (Fig. 6a). It is also obvious in Fig. 6b that there are asymptoticly flat traversable worm- hole solutions in this model which respect NEC outside the throat r0, if one choose adequate values for n. 6) Exponential gravity model [71,72] For the last model that we consider in this section, the f (R) is in the form f (R) = R − λR∗ 1 − exp(− R R∗ ) (26) , where λ, R∗ are free positive parameters of the model. Sim- ilar to the previous cases, one can find a wormhole in this model which respect NEC at the throat (Fig. 7a). In Fig. 7b the n − r/r0 diagram is depicted. It is clear that there is a little possibility for traversable asymptotically flat wormhole solutions in this model to satisfy the null energy conditions around the throat r0. 3.2 The cases of c1 = 0 5) Amendola–Gannouji–Polarski–Tsujikawa model In the fifth model that we consider, the f (R) is in the form [65,70] f (R) = R − μR∗(R/R∗) p . (25) We considered traversable wormhole solution as (6), where b(r )/r given by (17). Remember that the wormhole shape function b(r ) satisfies the conditions in (15) which leads to n > 2 in the case of c1 = −1 and n > 2.4 in the case of c1 = 1, therefore the second term in (17) falls down at 123
777 Page 8 of 13 Eur. Phys. J. C (2019) 79 :777 (a) (c) (b) (d) Fig. 8 The blue region in a, c show the asymptotically spherical (hyperbolic) wormhole solutions of the Tsujikawa model that respect the NEC. b Which is depicted by setting n = 4.5, r0 = 1, shows that F = d f (R)/d R < 0 and the asymptotically spherical wormhole in this model respect NEC around the throat. d Demonstrates that for an asymptotically open wormhole with n = 2.02, r0 = 0.5, NEC is respected around the throat. In these figures we set μ = 5, R∗ = 1 large r. In this subsection we choose c1 = ±1, for which the wormhole metric (6) at large r matches hyperbolic (c1 = −1) and spherical (c1 = 1) FRW metric, so we call them asymp- totically hyperbolic and asymptotically spherical wormhole solutions respectively. In the following we verify the null and weak energy condition for these asymptotically hyper- bolic and spherical wormhole solutions in the background of static f (R) modified gravity models that we considered in the previous subsection. 1) The Tsujikawa model For this model the f (R) is given in (21). We are interested in solutions for which F in (20) takes negative values, condi- tions ii), iii in (15) are satisfied and (18) are respected simul- taneously. Figure 8a, c show the location of these asymp- totically closed (c1 = 1) and open (c1 = −1) wormhole solutions in the n − r/r0 diagram respectively. In Fig. 8b, d we have explicitly depicted F and requirements of the WEC for an asymptotically spherical (hyperbolic) wormhole solu- tion with n = 4.5 (n = 2.02). It is obvious that by choosing adequate values for the parameters, one can find traversable 123
